New easy up trail that (connected to the existing Lockdown trail) looks like it will cut out much of the firetrail, rocky climb, and ride along the rode up Kalaui Street to Bangaroo. The direction of the trail cuts into the existing Lockdown trail twice, the second time against the existing direction, so keep aware of others.

Access Info

Start seems to be near power pole on right side of firetrail close to intersection of hiking trail down to Manly Dam, and before the run up to the firetrail pinch climb.

This trail is unsanctioned.
